RA Summer Festival at the Mayfair Art Weekend

As part of Mayfair Art Weekend, the RA hosts a free weekend-long arts festival of music, performances, workshops and artist talks.

From live music and performances, street food stalls and pop-up cocktail bars, artists’ talks and installations, we invite you to join us for our free weekend-long arts festival at the RA, as part of Mayfair Art Weekend.

Mayfair Art Weekend features an extensive programme of exhibitions, events, talks and tours. Over 40 galleries, auction houses, leading fashion brands and restaurants in Mayfair and St. James’s will open their doors to the public, inviting culture seekers to explore the capital’s commercial galleries out of hours and engage with the world-class curatorial expertise on offer through a series of special events.
